Video viewing on forum with LL 3.0 - Coastie - 07-31-2016
Ever since installing LL 3.0, I cannot see videos on this forum and others. Even when I post it like on http://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/on-topic/linux-lite-3-0-awesome-distro-for-everyone/msg25404/?topicseen#msg25404, I still can't see them. I have disabled NoScript, Ad Blocker+, and Privacy Badger but makes no difference. Don't think I have any other plug in on Firefox 47.0 which would cause this. No problems on You Tube. I never had these problems with 2.8 or before and never had to mess with plug ins other than maybe allowing scripts.
Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Perhaps:
(1) Try a different browser.
(2) Make sure you have restricted extras installed
(3) Clear the cache of your browser and/or restore it to defaults.

1. Works with Tor.
2. Restricted extras checked. Installed since install of 3.0.
3.a. Cleared cache of Firefox using Lite Tweaks.
3.b. Started Firefox with add-ons disabled and video showed up and played.
I guess I will have to try disabling one add-on at a time until I find the culprit.

And the culprit is Google Disconnect!

There are horses for courses, indeed. Slimjet comes across as eminently suitable for watching videos, without any tweaking at all. I use it as a "looser" browser just for that, without a single add-on since all the necessary add-ons are already built in. This arrangement is speedy while maintaining a reasonably high degree of security - tested with ShieldsUp, it shows no leakage on my system. So, in fact, it is pretty "tight" straight out of the box, and can be fine-tuned further via its complex Settings. Worth trying.
